Former US president says investigation into Democratic congresswoman raises concerns about a fundamental principle of American democracy.
Former United States President Barack Obama has accused President Donald Trump of targeting Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar because of her political views.
Obama made the allegation in a post on X on Sunday, criticising the investigation involving Omar, who represents Minnesota in the US House of Representatives.
He argued that the investigation violated a fundamental principle of American democracy, raising concerns about the treatment of elected officials over their political positions.
Omar, a prominent Democratic lawmaker, has frequently been at odds with Trump over his policies and political rhetoric.
Obama’s intervention adds to the political debate surrounding the investigation and the broader tensions between the Republican president and his Democratic opponents.
However, further details about the investigation and the specific allegations against Omar were not provided in the information available.
